1967 / 1600. It would be nice to have. My one and only ignition key is a aftermarket Taylor, stamped (best I can tell) D80 on the top line then a large 0 underneath. I do have the original Griffen (silver, not painted) "Valet" key stamped 4143. These two keys are cut the same but the Valet "Griffin" key is an 1/8 inch shorter on the cut, so I assume that is a valet key. The 4000 series blank has the channel right down the middle on one side , and the channel is on the left hand edge on the opposite side. I checked Ralleye, no luck on a blank or Nissan pre-cut. Would the orig. master Griffen be a different number of the 4000 series (pre-cut) than the Valet? (4143)

Thanks

Thanks, the $30 key appears right. I was just was hoping it was the painted version. Although I have no idea if my car came with it (painted) originally other than seeing other examples on the net. that were.

It would have been painted. They came in different colors, and the head shape altered slightly too. I believe that those are repros that were made somewhere in the middle east. Look nice though.

Long ago, I acquired in a bag of parts and sold off a Griffin key whose head was inlaid with dark red paint.

Didn't fit anything on my cars (1968, and at the time, a 1969).
